    Played around with the bear last night. He was still able to get trash out with the straps as you can see. Wife woke me up at 1:42 am from the ruckus. In the past, this young bear would take the trash bag out of the can and haul it over 100 ft into the green belt behind our house for privacy. This time, he was hauling the can back there! Grabbed the handle in his teeth and was backing toward the green belt dragging it. :lol: scared him off and put the can back in the garage for the rest of the night...uh morning.

    Time to build a strong enclosure outside.

    Update on the Tundra if anyone cares. Talked to the guy and he won't budge from $13,300, super annoying. I don't want to go that high but it's super clean. Stupid seller haha

    I've tried everything and he won't budge. He is stuck at 13.3 but I just don't want to spend that. I will be selling the wheels and tires and can sell the running boards and camper to bring the price down. Ugh I'll probably wait for another.


    In other news, a guy contacted me about painting my hood to the oem color. Said $100 plus $25 in paint. I'm a little worried about not using a shop but it is a good price. Said he painted his truck the same color so he has the paint. Thoughts?

    And this is why you don't rely on the post office for timely delivery (notice it's 2-day priority). Pony Express was faster than this.

    That sucks big time, sometimes they are awesome, but other times they just flat out suck.

    BTW, does anyone have a stock radio for a first gen they don't want or sell really cheap. I'm going to pull my radio when I sell my truck and got rid of my stock one. Sucks because my brother in law just sold his for $5, but I didn't think I needed it at the time.

    Yeah, do they come in that color from Toyota as an option or stock on something else? They don't look like they've been powdercoated. I'm going to have to ask this guy. So close to me, should at least go look at them.
    I've seen another member powder coat a set before, but these are darker and on a lighter silver truck.

    No they don't come stock, he painted them. They do look good and different from the black norm.
